Glare while sun is behind me

So this never happened before with other Oakleys I had, but with the Carbon Shift (Prizm Black Polarized) I got recently, I notice a significant amount of glare when the sun is behind me. Was out for a walk today around 10am on a bright sunny day and noticed the glare on the inside of the lenses when the sun was in my back, pretty annoying.

Is this normal for Oakley? Don't their lenses have an anti reflection coating on the inside? I know that Maui Jim lenses have this, but thought Oakley did too. Otherwise, any way to mitigate this?
 
Oakley claims there is an anti-reflective coating on the back lens. If this is the case it is an extremely weak coating that is practically non existent. This is compounded by the high wrap of the pair since it just traps in the light and makes the glare even worse. Unfortunately not much you can do about it.
